Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Past and Present of Piatt County, Illinois: Together With Biographical Sketches of Many Prominent and Influential Citizens HE greatest of English historians, macaulay, and one ofthe most brilliant writers of the present century, has said: The history of a country is best told in a record of the lives of its people. In conformity with this idea, the biograph ical record has been prepared. Instead of going to musty records, and taking therefrom dry statistical matter that can be appreciated by but few, our corps of writers have gone to the people, the men and women who have, by their enterprise and industry, brought this county to a rank second to none among those compris ing this great and noble State, and from their lips have the story of their life strug gles. No more interesting or instructive'matter could be presented to an intelligent public. In this volume will be found at record of many whose lives are worthy the imitation of coming generations. It tells how some, commencing life in poverty, by industry and economy, have accumulated wealth. It tells how others, with lim ited advantages for securing an education, have become learned men and women, with an in uence extending throughout the length and breadth of the land. It tells of men who have risen from the lower walks of life to eminence as statesmen, and whose names have become famous. It tells of those in every walk in life who have striven to succeed, and records how that success has usually crowned their efforts. It-tells also of those, who, not seeking the applause of the world, have pursued the even tenor of their way, content to have it said of them, as Christ said of the woman performing a deed of mercy - They have done what they could. It tells how many in the pride and strength of young manhood left the plow and the anvil, the lawyer's office. And the counting - room, left every trade and profession, and at their country's call went forth valiantly to do or die, and how through their efforts the Union was restored and peace once more reigned in' the land. In the life of every man and of every woman is a lesson that should not be lost upon those who follow after.

Book Synopsis Lincoln's Ladder to the Presidency by : Guy C. Fraker
Download or read book Lincoln's Ladder to the Presidency written by Guy C. Fraker and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 2012-11-09 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Univeristy Press Books for Public and Secondary Schools 2013 edition Superior Achievement by the Illinois State Historical Society, 2013 Throughout his twenty-three-year legal career, Abraham Lincoln spent nearly as much time on the road as an attorney for the Eighth Judicial Circuit as he did in his hometown of Springfield, Illinois. Yet most historians gloss over the time and instead have Lincoln emerge fully formed as a skillful politician in 1858. In this innovative volume, Guy C. Fraker provides the first-ever study of Lincoln’s professional and personal home away from home and demonstrates how the Eighth Judicial Circuit and its people propelled Lincoln to the presidency. Each spring and fall, Lincoln traveled to as many as fourteen county seats in the Eighth Judicial Circuit to appear in consecutive court sessions over a ten- to twelve-week period. Fraker describes the people and counties that Lincoln encountered, discusses key cases Lincoln handled, and introduces the important friends he made, friends who eventually formed the team that executed Lincoln’s nomination strategy at the Chicago Republican Convention in 1860 and won him the presidential nomination. As Fraker shows, the Eighth Judicial Circuit provided the perfect setting for the growth and ascension of Lincoln. A complete portrait of the sixteenth president depends on a full understanding of his experience on the circuit, and Lincoln’s Ladder to the Presidency provides that understanding as well as a fresh perspective on the much-studied figure, thus deepening our understanding of the roots of his political influence and acumen.
